8 Eco-Friendly Spring Cleaning Tips for a Fresher, Greener Home

There’s nothing quite like a truly clean home - when the dust hiding in forgotten corners has been wiped away, cobwebs swept down, and even the stubborn spots of mould in odd places finally tackled. That fresh, reset feeling is what spring cleaning is all about.

Here are 8 eco-friendly spring cleaning tips to try this season:

1. Swap Harsh Chemicals for Natural Solutions

Be adventurous and try natural alternatives. White vinegar, baking soda, and lemon are powerful multi-taskers that cut grease, kill odors, and disinfect surfaces - without filling your home with toxins. We also offer ozone generators that use oxygen to clean naturally.

2. Choose Reusable Cleaning Tools

Instead of paper towels and disposable wipes, reach for washable cloths, old t-shirts repurposed as rags, and microfiber cloths that can be used again and again. You’ll cut down on waste and save money in the long run.

3. Declutter with Purpose

When sorting through cupboards and closets, don’t toss everything straight into the bin. Donate items in good condition, recycle what you can, and compost or discard what’s really worn out.

4. Freshen the Air Naturally

Open your windows for fresh air, bring in houseplants to naturally purify, or simmer citrus peels and herbs on the stove for a natural, chemical-free fragrance or put eucalyptus branches in your home or shower for a refreshing scent.

5. Tackle Mould the Natural Way

Mould creeping into bathroom corners or window frames is a common spring find and it can be a real pain to remove. Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, spritz the area, and let it sit before scrubbing with a brush. For tougher spots, add a little baking soda for extra cleaning power for some natural solutions to try.

6. Switch to Eco-Friendly Dishware & Storage

Say goodbye to chipped plastic containers and single-use plates. Durable, non-toxic options - like wheat straw plates and reusable glass jars - make your kitchen both safer and more sustainable.

7. Conserve Water as You Clean

It’s easy to let taps run while scrubbing. Fill a bucket instead of using running water, or turn off the tap between rinses. Small habits like this make a big difference and will save on your water bill.

8. Go Room by Room

Instead of overwhelming yourself with the entire house, take it step by step - one room at a time. It helps you stay motivated and get through all that’s needed to get your home in a beautiful state.

It’s great to try Eco-friendly spring cleaning and get your home to look and feel its best for you and your family to enjoy - it’s worth all the hard work.
